To be, or not to be, that is the question:

Hamlet:
To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them. To die—to sleep,
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there's the rub:

One of the favorited soliloquies of  Shakespeare in his classic Hamlet. Who would ever forget this famous lines that became one of the greatest. Now why did i post this excerpts...because I too is asking myself that question...a lot of times. What is that question? That is mine to keep...gomenasai...a very private one. I always believe that things happen regardless of how we plan it to be, but some times it depend on how we forge life. If you let things happen the way you like it to be you can veer things the way you want it. But then we have this way to fate. Things also happen without our knowledge or sans any plan...they just happen...and can't avoid it to happen...just merely fate takes its course.


When things go against the way I planned it...I just brace myself with enough courage to go on and lots of faith in the Lord...and seek His mighty hands to lift me up when am in the lowest ebb of my life. I believe it will always soon pass away and leave me a better person as I have always believe I am. I will always want to bounce back...just like a ball.

It's never too late...


Doing the plie's for people like me is no joke. Imagine those stretchings and mat exercises ala yoga...eto I just woke up because I was a bit exhausted after 2-3 weeks of being absent...kanina lang ako bumalik. Ayun parusa...was planning to do some groceries at Ever pero I went straight home instead because I was so soaked with perspiration and kinda catching my breath. So I went home and dozed off immediately right after I hit the bed. We went roaring with laughters doing the new steps, eh di ko mapigilan eh...lol...it started in a tendu position (tohn dew) literally, "to stretch and one by one went sideways with some combinations." Imagine naman , I told Lizel na ang gusto ko lang magexercise at sumayaw...I didn't say na at my age I want to do ballet...lol...parusa talaga...grabe...but the enjoyment with the others are great and the healthy attitude we are getting out of that jazz class. There's no age limit when dancing is concerned I tell you, lalo na ang jazz. We also did try the chaînés (sheh ney) a series of quick turns on alternating feet with progression along a straight line or circle...hay kaloka talaga. Pag di ko kaya I just laugh it out. Ang masaklap we have to perfect 3 dance number again for this period, then recital na naman...sigh...I asked Lizel bakit ba may recital pa?! I've just learned na related pala talaga ang basic ballet sa dance routine ng jazz. I just want to get fit but then there's nothing to lose talaga. So, enjoy lang...eto sa pagod ko, I craved for something so I decided to order 2 boxes of pizza and it was delivered right in time. And I tell you, everybody all dived into it.
